... I thought I would add a few more thoughts.
Just back from a High School meeting at AISJ where both my children are at school. One in High School, the other in Middle. So far I am impressed! Yes it is all very American - but they seem to have taken the best bits (nurturing, active, embracing) and added in some international elements. Long Boy is doing JOMUN - Johannesburg Model United Nations - in September, representing India! Not entirely sure what that means but I am sure we will learn. Lots of social activities, both planned & unplanned.
Squeezie has made the basketball team - amazing as she has never played before although was pretty keen on netball in the UK. We have the Middle School Open House this coming Tuesday - a walkabout through the timetable - 10 min intros to the subject, meet the teacher & see the classroom. Loads of parents & if you speeded it all up, it would go very well to the Benny Hill music!
Choosing a new school at this stage of their school careers (especially Long Boy who would have just been starting his GCSEs in the UK) is BIG! They are following the IB here & as I said, so far so good.
Back to the airfreight - 17 boxes (300kgs) for our 2 years here - and we don't really need most of that! Quite liberating shedding "stuff"!
